1.Before proceeding, make certain that all equipment, including the 2.0, is unplugged from AC power. This will prevent any damage due to the unintended activation of automatic turn-on circuits.

2.Use high-quality audio and video interconnect cables to connect your source equipment to the rear of the 2.0 as shown in the diagram above and the table below. It is important to note that unlike conventional audio/video equipment, the 2.0 does not have inputs that are labeled for connection to a specific type of equipment (e.g., inputs labeled “CD,” “Tape” or “VCR”). Instead, the 2.0 allows you to connect the analog or digital audio and composite or S-Video outputs of your source equipment to any of the inputs. Then, using the setup procedures detailed on page 28 of this manual, you can custom configure the input sources. However, for a quick starting point, follow the input suggestions outlined in the chart shown below. They conform to the preset conditions for the 2.0.
